Ali Marpet

School: Hobart

Position: G

Bio: Three-year starter awarded All-America honors the past two years.

Positive: Highly rated small-school prospect with potential at a number of offensive line positions. Technically sound in all areas; bends his knees, sinks his hips and blocks with great leverage. Stays square, keeps his hands and feet active throughout the play, making great use of angles and body positioning. Can slide out in space, rides defenders from their angle of attack and works through the whistle. Keeps his head on a swivel and plays intelligent football. Quick out to the second level and displays the ability to block in motion.

Negative: Has an undeveloped body and struggles finishing blocks. Does not come across as a nasty blocker.

Analysis: Marpet was highly regarded by NFL scouts before he proved his next-level ability during Senior Bowl practices and the combine. He has height limitations but offers the versatility to play just about every position on the offensive line. In the end Marpet is best at guard or center and could eventually develop into a Pro Bowl player at the next level.
